She was still shaking when they got back to the hotel. Everyone else immediately headed for the bar, but JJ and Hotch were sweaty and dirty, and neither of them wanted to waste any time getting in a shower before dinner. As she stopped at her door, she looked back to find Aaron staring at her.
"Don't look at me like that," she said, shaking her head.
He frowned. "Like what?"
"Like that." The way he had after the gunfire had dissipated, his eyes searching her out, boring into her. "Just...don't."
"I don't under -"
She sighed, swiping her keycard and getting a red light for the third time. "It makes me want to jump you, Hotch, so -"
Then his hand was at the small of her back, pressing against her as the fingers of his other hand closed over hers. Slowly, he guided the keycard through the reader again, this time getting a green light. Together, they pushed the door open.
He followed her in.
